A Lesson

Xia Wan clearly did not believe Wen Shu's words. "Don't think I'm unaware of your sneaking around near my family's shop for the past several days!"

Wen Shu's face paled instantly.

Xia Wan had intended to scare him, but unexpectedly, it turned out that he indeed had a premeditated plan!

"What were you really up to, lurking around my shop?" Xia Wan's anger flared, "Is my parents' disappearance related to you in any way?"

"How can you be so dense, woman!" Wen Shu retorted in frustration, "I have nothing to do with your parents being taken away!"

"How do you know they were taken away?" Xia Wan quickly spotted the flaw in Wen Shu's statement.

"I... I..." Wen Shu's eyes shifted nervously, forgetting the pain in his hand.

Xia Wan grabbed his hand, twisting the silver needle still embedded in it.

"Ah! Stop! It hurts! Don't move!" Wen Shu cried out, his other hand suspended in the air, not daring to touch Xia Wan.
